Abstract
The abundance of agricultural products often causes environmental problems. The utilization of agricultural waste from carrots can reduce both the feed cost and environmental pollution and become a source of vitamin A for the health of the native chicken. The study aims to analyze carrot (Daucus carota L.) waste juice on native chicken performance. It was conducted from April to July 2019 at Pandu experimental field in North Minahasa Regency. The practical method used was a completely randomized design with four replications. The experimental livestock used in the study was 80-day-old chickens of native chicken. The concentration of carrot juice during the study was as follows: 100% drinking water without carrot juice (W0), 80% water drinking + 20% carrot juice (W1), 60% drinking water + 40% carrot juice (W2), and 20% drinking water + 80% carrot juice (W3). Observed variables included feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and mortality rate. The results showed that carrot waste juice significantly impacted the body weight gain, feed conversion rate, and 0% mortality rate during the 8 weeks. The concentration of 20% drinking water + 80% carrot juice (W3) with the feed intake ratio of 1.608 g, body weight gain value of 775.63 ± 301 g, and the FCR of 2.1 ± 0.06. However, the consumption ratio did not differ among treatments. The addition of carrot waste juice, as much as 80%, in the drinking water of native chickens showed an increase in body weight compared to other treatments. In conclusion, the current study showed that treatment of carrot waste juice has a significant effect on body weight in 8 weeks of maintenance. Meanwhile, the feed intake ratio of carrot waste juice treatment has no real effect. There was no dead chicken (0%) in the present study. The carrot waste juice can be used in chicken drinks 40–80% by paying attention to the balance of energy content and feed proteins used to grow chickens.
1 Introduction
Native chickens are a source of animal germplasm with potential for development. Native chickens are very popular among people in villages or cities. They are known to have two functions, namely producing eggs and meat. Their meat is trendy in various groups because of its unique taste. Although the meat is a little tough than that of broiler, native chicken meat is delicious. The local chicken population increased by 4% from 299,701,400 to 310,959,951 in 2017 [1]. The supply of broiler chickens is greater in meeting people’s meat needs, but the consumer appreciation given to the price of native chicken is still higher than that of the broiler. This situation can be an opportunity to increase the prospect of the native chicken market to spur its development in the future. The main problem in the development of local chickens is still low productivity. One factor is the farming system that is still traditional. Also, the amount of feed provided is insufficient. The feeding has not referred to nutritional sciences’ rules, especially food needs that have not paid attention to their dietary needs. Rations are determining factors in the success of poultry [2]. The percentage expenditure cost of feed is approximately 60–70% of the total production cost [2]. Thus, it requires innovations to cope with the cost of the feed. Non-conventional animal feed is a feed material that is not commonly used for stacking rations. The feed material is potentially used as a mixture of poultry feed because of each given region’s availability. The feed ingredients must also contain the nutrients required by native chickens, and that availability does not compete with people’s needs. The anti-nutritional content must be processed first so as not to harm the livestock. Non-conventional feedstuffs can come from the chemical, agricultural, and fermented product industries. Nurfaizin and Matitaputty [3] stated that agricultural waste is very potentially utilized as poultry feed because it still contains the right nutrients. Although the utilization is allowed for poultry, some characteristics become barriers such as crude fiber content, carotene intake, or tannin content, reducing livestock productivity. One of the agricultural waste that can be potentially utilized as feed for native chicken is carrot. Carrot waste as a potential source of vitamin A for livestock feed. In addition to vitamin A, some of the essential nutrients in each 100 g can be seen in Table 1.

A carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a tuber reddish yellow or yellowish orange. The edible part of carrots is the tuber or root. Food reserves are stored in the roots. Carrots have a thin tuber skin, and when eaten raw, they are crunchy and slightly sweet [5]. The tubers are the most commonly used part of the carrot plant because of their high content of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The orange color of carrots indicates high levels of β-carotene [6]. Vitamin A is needed for growth, maintenance of normal mucous membranes, reproduction, digestion, and optimal growth. Carrot tubers have a crude protein content of 7.0%, crude fiber of 5.1%, and BETN (non-nitrogen extract material is part of food ingredients containing carbohydrates, sugar, and starch) of 72.3%. Carrot tubers are high in β-carotene with provitamins of about 12,000 S.I. or 3,600 μg. Carrot contains some essential minerals which include calcium of 55.000, phosphate of 44.333, and iron of 1.667 [7]. The absorption efficiency of retinol (vitamin A) ranges from 75 to 100%, while the absorption efficiency of β-carotene ranges from 3 to 90%, so retinol displays a higher absorption efficiency than carotenoids [8]. The content of β-carotene in carrots has the power to cure various diseases and boost immunity. Consuming carrots can lower cholesterol and improve the digestive system because it contains elements such as folic acid, pantothenic acid, K, Na, Ca, Mg, P, S, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn, as well as Vitamin A for eye health [9]. Besides being useful as a medicine, carrots can be used as an energy source for animal feed with low protein content (5–12%), less than 10% fiber, and more than 10% minerals.
The results [10] showed that carrot flour had no impact on broiler chicken performance due to the processing that uses sunlight, leading to the evaporation of β-carotenoid. Also, it is explained that the limit on the feeding of the flour in the ration does not exceed 2%. Suhatri and Hel Amir [11] stated that carrot extract administration at 50 mg/kg body weight (BB), 100 mg/kg BB, and 200 mg/kg BB could prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis in quail induced with high-fat foods and propylthiouracil. The best doses were 50 mg/kg BB, 100 mg/kg BB, and 200 mg/kg BB. Carrot flour has a long shelf life, about 6–8 months and so flour is one alternative to handling fresh carrots during the harvest [12]. In addition to having a long shelf life, the manufacture of flour can increase carrots’ economic value [13]. Making carrot flour will increase the diversity of carrot utilization and, more importantly, make it a source of vitamin A and food coloring [12].
Airlangga University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine students found that carrots (D. carota L.) are beneficial for chicken feed blends. A total of 100 broilers were reared intensively. In the 2-week maintenance, drinking water for broiler chickens treated with carrot juice were adjusted to the daily needs of broilers. The results of the study concluded that carrots could be used as an additional feed for broilers, which proved to be effective and could increase the daily weight of chickens for 5 weeks of rearing [14].
2 Materials and methods
2.1 Description of experimental site
The research was conducted from April to July 2019 at Pandu experimental field in North Minahasa Regency. In total 80 bird of day-old native chickens were placed in the brooder with a warm-up using 75 W bulb lamps. After entering the treatment phase, the chickens were divided randomly into 16 cage units with 4 × 4 replicates. Each unit has five chickens with an area of 100 cm × 50 cm × 50 cm (Figure 1). The cage used in this study was a slat system cage made of wood and bamboo. The tools and other materials included a footbath, knife, brand blender Philips, measuring cup, scales, sieve, a place to eat and drink, digital scales, equipment for cleaning the cage, vaccines, medicines, carrots, and writing stationery. Carrot waste juice was made by blending carrots. After that, the carrot juice was filtered to separate the fiber and liquid. The carrot juice was mixed into the experimental drinking water. The duration of giving carrot waste juice to chickens lasts for 8 weeks. Meanwhile, the rations used consisted of yellow corn, rice bran, concentrate BR-2, and Topmix. The rations for experimental chickens are given in the same portions.

Design of an experimental plot filled with five native chickens.
2.2 Treatments and experimental design
The study used a completely randomized design (RAL) with four replicates. Each plot contains five chickens with a total of 80 chickens (unsex). The carrot waste juice treatment during research was as follows:
W0: 100% drinking water without carrot waste juice (control)
W1: 80% drinking water + 20% carrot waste juice
W2: 60% drinking water + 40% carrot waste juice
W3: 20% drinking water + 80% carrot waste juice.
2.3 Data analysis
The data were analyzed using the analysis of variants computed on the program SPSS 24. Treatment means were compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test [15].
3 Results and discussion
3.1 Feed intake
The results (Table 2) show that the treatment without carrot juice has a smaller consumption value of 1.594 g, which did not statistically differ from the treatment of W1 carrot juice (1.637), W2 (1.643), and W3 (1.608). The significantly different consumption figures were suspected in the full water intake (without juice) and carrot juice, causing the same condition. The chicken consumed a lot of water, so it felt full. Wahju (1985) and Swick (1999) in ref. [16] stated that the consumption of drinking water in the growth period is two times the ration consumption.

Chickens that were not given rations would survive for more or less 15–20 days [17]. However, if chickens are not given drinking water, they can only last for 2–3 days. This is in line with ref. [18] that water has a very important role in the life of living things including livestock. Chickens can survive up to 3 weeks without food, but chickens cannot survive even a few days without drinking water. Water is needed to digest food and help the absorption of nutrients to be more optimal. It is suspected that the fat content in the chicken’s body can help the chicken survive thirst. The results showed that the feeding carrot waste juice increased the feed intake at all levels (Figure 2). Accumulated ration consumption increased straight compared with the magnitude of the chicken body [19]. The fast rate of chicken growth affects the number of rations and dietary substances the chickens need for metabolic processes in the body. The consumption pattern of rations was seen to increase since the age of 3 weeks (Figure 2). This result is due to chickens requiring feed to live as the main staple for the growth and development of body cells. Therefore, in this phase administration should pay attention to the quantity to avoid waste.

Feed intake of chickens during 8 weeks of research.
The value of ration consumption in the W1 and W2 treatment was relatively similar in statistics, allegedly caused by the portion of drinking water that almost balanced in the treatment given. This situation is in line with the explanation (Card and Nesheim, 1979; Creswell, 1997; Anonymous, 2012; Wahju, 1985) in ref. [16], stating that consumption of ration in chickens is influenced by ambient temperature, metabolic energy levels of ration, weight, palatability, production rate, quality of rations, and speed of growth. Water is vital in the chicken’s growth because if the chicken loses 20% of body fluid will cause death. Water supply is one of the critical successes in maintenance management and should not be fully dependent on commercial feed containing only 10% water content.
3.2 Body weight gain
The results of the analysis showed that there was an effect of carrot waste juice on the weight gain of native chicken, namely treatments W0 (664.75 ± 221), W1 (681.25 ± 233), W2 (745.25 ± 267), and W3 (775.63 ± 301). The W0 treatment showed that the body weight gain was significantly smaller in value compared to W3, W2, and W1 (Table 3). It is known that the best treatments for increasing body weight were W3 and W2 treatments. This aspect can be seen from the average value of chicken body weight gain, higher in W3 and W2; whereas, the treatments W0 and W1 were relatively low in the acquisition of native chicken body weight gain.

The results of the study are shown in Table 3 and Figure 2 that the carrot treatment had noticeable effect on the body weight gain of native chicken and significantly different from the control treatment. In Figure 3, the weight gain trend from the first to the 4 weeks tended to be the same. However, in the eighth week, chicken weight with carrot juice treatment reached its peak and stabilized, while the treatment without carrot juice had a decrease in the body weight. Economically and physiologically, the native chicken in the 8 weeks of maintenance is profitable because the land weight gain is in line with less wasteful feed due to the protein content of carrots that can help nutrient sufficiency. This result supports the optimal achievement of the target weight increase during the 2-month maintenance alone with an average of 1 kg final body weight/chicken at the time of harvest.

Body weight gain of native chicken during 8 weeks.
Carrots can be used as a livestock feed material (energy sources) with low protein levels (5–12%), fiber less than 10%, and minerals more than 10% [10]. The volume of carrots in a juice can affect a chicken’s weight increase because of carrots’ calorie content. Based on ref. [4], 100 g of carrot contains 41 kcal. The β-carotene content of carrots is a precursor of vitamin A that serves as an antioxidant to ward off free radicals [20]. Another benefit of vitamin A is that it is useful in the epithelialization of digestive cells, the differentiation of epithelial cells, respiration, digestion, production, reproduction, eye health, and proliferation of intestinal mucous cells.
The study (Figure 3) showed that the body weight gain of native chicken in all treatments tended to be the same until the age of 8 weeks. However, carrot waste juice treatment provides stable body weight gain value compared to the control treatment. Although the chickens eat for growth, the body weight gain rate will seem stable until the maintenance peak. If the chickens are given feed until passing the threshold of maintenance, then there is waste and the feed cost becomes ineffective and the livestock business has losses. Therefore, farmers should pay attention to the administration’s portion and the duration of maintenance so that chickens can be sold at the right harvest age. In this research, chickens can be marketed at the age of 8 weeks of maintenance with the final weight of about 1 kg/chicken. Cited by Fahrudin et al. [21] from North (1978) that weight gain is the difference in the final weight (harvest) with the initial body weight at a certain moment. The livestock growth curve depends heavily on the feed given. If the feed contains high nutrients, the cattle can achieve a certain weight at a younger age. According to research by Margawati (1989) cited by Fahrudin et al. [21] the body weight gain of native chicken during 8 weeks traditionally maintained (intensive) at the same age reached 1.4355 g.
The sweet taste of carrots is reinforced by the sucrose and low fiber contents affecting the chicken’s palatability in the consumption of food given. The content of such sucrose should be destroyed in the body through the metabolic process to produce glucose and fructose. The glucose portion can be processed again to produce energy. The high content of coarse fiber in agricultural waste as poultry feed can reduce palatability, causing the digestive tract to feel full (bulky), leading to a decline in ration consumption and growth inhibition due to nutritional deficiency [3]. The consumption level and the palatability of livestock against an alternative feed material should also be noted so that the profile and nutrient characteristics are needed. This research expects that carrots can be used as an alternative supplement in the drinking water of native chickens, contributing to the productivity and efficiency of ration costs.
3.3 Feed conversion ratio (FCR)
Ration conversion is the ratio between the amount of ration consumed and body weight in a certain period. One measure of efficiency is through the comparison between the number of rations given (input) and the results obtained, be it meat or eggs (output) [22]. One measure of efficiency is to compare the number of rations given (inputs) with the results obtained, either meat or eggs.
The results of statistical analysis (Table 4) revealed that the carrot juice treatment influenced the FCR of native chicken, with the smallest conversion in the W3 treatment (2.1 ± 0.06), followed by W2 (2.2 ± 0.03), W1 (2.4 ± 0.03), and W0 (2.4 ± 0.07). Husmaini’s statement (2000) cited by Fahrudin et al. [21] that the conversion ratio in the native chicken aged 8 weeks used ration with a protein content of 17 and 20% of 2.84 and 4.32 in line with ref. [22]. A smaller conversion ratio means that rations’ administration is increasingly useful. Conversely, a considerable conversion value means a waste. The small conversion ratio shows economic feed cost savings [23]. From the study results (Table 4), a concentration of 80% carrot juice has provided a low conversion value to produce a weight increase in chicken per unit weight. Rafian [24] stated that large conversion ratios are influenced by genetic, sanitary, water quality, livestock type, and maintenance management factors.
Feed conversion rate of native chicken during 8 weeks
Treatment | FCR |
---|---|
W0 | 2.4 ± 0.07a |
W1 | 2.4 ± 0.03a |
W2 | 2.2 ± 0.03b |
W3 | 2.1 ± 0.06b |
Deviation (±) of mean is SD. Different superscripts in the same column indicate noticeable differences (P < 0.05).
The physiological activity of native chickens contributes to the conversion rate. Chicken eating to meet the energy requirements. If energy needs have been fulfilled, then the chickens will stop eating. The energy needs are high and not balanced with the adequacy of energy in the food. Thus, the chickens will eat more. Tillman et al. [25] stated that the percentage of protein remains present in all rations, so rations that have a high metabolic energy concentration will provide less protein in the body of poultry due to the low amount of food consumed in the body of the poultry. Conversely, if the energy levels are less, then the poultry will consume food to gain more energy. Consequently, it will likely consume excessive protein. The carrot juice treatment as feed supplements in the chicken drinking water can provide the best ration conversion value per chicken weight. The content of vitamin A in carrots is functioned to preserve intestinal mucosa and cell proliferation. Allegedly with the smallest ration conversion value, the carrot waste juice treatment showed that carrot waste treatment in the form of juice mixed in drinking water helps the active substance in carrot work optimally in the chicken cells. This result is due to the content of β-carotene as precursors of vitamin A or retinol, which is not degraded during juice making.
3.4 Mortality rate
Good management is a critical success factor in the maintenance of native chicken, either when the chicken first entered the cage or during the next maintenance phase. The results of observations during the study showed that the chicken mortality percentage was 0%. This result signifies that maintenance management is said to meet the predefined standards during research, among others, the provision of superior seedlings, the provision of high-quality chicken food and affordable prices, medicines, maintenance mechanisms, and marketing processes. Although natural and environmental factors contribute to the percentage of chicken death on the farm, it is often a frightening specter for farmers. Still, good management will help overcome the problem of death in chickens.
Based on the results obtained from this study, the carotenoids in carrots can serve as antioxidants to protect the body from free radicals that can suppress the risk of disease and chicken death. It is generally seen that the maintenance of native chicken was said to succeed. This result is in line with the explanation of North and Bell (1990) in ref. [26], according to which the broiler’s maintenance is declared successful if the overall mortality rate is less than 5%.
According to El Diwani et al. (2009), cited by Taiwo and Kehinde [27], the natural antioxidants are constituents of many fruits and vegetables and that they have attracted a great deal of public and scientific attention. Carrots, as nutrient-rich food, also have many excellent antioxidants for the chicken body. Vitamin C from carrots can support the body’s immune system. Stahl and Sies [28] stated that plants containing high antioxidants are used to stabilize radical compounds. Carotenoids are known to inhibit the oxidation of molecular targets through reactions with free radicals, thereby forming a relatively more stable compound. In carrots, color pigments are suspected to incorporate antioxidants into the native chicken body to dampen free radicals, thus helping overcome disease and death. Dutta et al. (2005), in ref. [29], explained that the carotenoid functions as a free radical and deactivation occurs through an electron transfer process. The reaction can be described as follows:
Antioxidants are important compounds that function as free radical scavengers. Carotenoids are composed of complex antioxidant phytochemical compounds that make up a healthy diet which is very effective at reducing singlet oxygen (IO2). Carotenoids absorb light through a series of physical and chemical processes that act as photoprotection against photo-oxidative damage. The energy level of the carotenoid triplet (β-carotene) is located close to IO2 (1,274 nm, 7,849 cm−1 or 93.9 kJ/mol and 1,380 nm, 7,250 cm−1 or 86.7 kJ/mol, so that the reduction of oxygen shortages (IO2) is very efficient, especially carotenoids which have 11 conjugated double bonds. Although the protective behavior of carotenoids is shown to be very moderate, in general, the deactivation of IO2 is based on the conversion of excess energy to heating through tripled with the lowest carotenoid content, namely three carotenoids * (equations (1) and (2)). The main reactions of carotenoids in deactivating free radicals are:
Electron transfer between free radicals (R*) and carotenoids, results in the formation of carotenoid/carotenoid radical cations*+ (equation (3)) or carotenoid/carotenoid radical anions*– (equation (3)) or carotenoid/carotenoid radical anions*– (equation (4)).
Formation (b) radical adduct (Rcarotenoid*) (equation (5)).
Transfer of hydrogen atoms leading to neutral carotenoid radicals (carotenoids*) (equation (6)) (Christensen, 1999; Scheer, 2003; Husain et al., 1987; Fiedor et al., 2001, 2002; Edge and Truscott, 1998; El-Agamy et al., 2004) in ref. [30]. The carotenoid process neutralizes free radicals by donating one of its electrons to become a stable molecule shown in Figure 4.

4 Conclusion
Treatment of carrot waste juice has a significant effect on body weight in 8 weeks of maintenance. The concentration of 20% drinking water + 80% carrot juice (W3) with the feed intake ratio of 1.608 g, body weight gain value of 775.63 ± 301 g, and the FCR of 2.1 ± 0.06. Meanwhile, the feed intake ratio of carrot waste juice treatment has no real effect. There was no dead chicken (0%) in the present study. The carrot waste juice can be used in chicken drinks 40–80% by paying attention to the balance of energy content and feed proteins used to grow chickens.
